For loop Date Columns

Hi All,

 

I have equipment downtime data that is used to calculate Mean Time Between Failure and Mean Time To Repair.  The fleet management system creates a new event frame every time a crew shift change occurs, thus splitting one long event into multiple shorter events.  This skews the MTBF and MTTR data.

 

I need to calculate the start time of the next event that are of the same time code whi8le ingoring events with the same ending and starting time.

 

I have ranked the events according to Start Time and Equip ID and then calculated Next Start, but without looping through the data.
